Organoleptic characteristics
The color amazes for the intensity of
garnets and rubies that sparkle.
Its alcoholic strength is evident
in the abundant formation of arches
and tears. The varietal characteristics
of the vine show a rich bouquet
and persistent, expanded by sensations
elegant that recall the black cherry,
and floral nuances.
Feelings develop over time
ethereal with hints of resin and wood
sweet spices.
